As I'm sure you know, WOYWW is the brainchild of our desker Queen Julia, our beloved host at Stamping Ground.

I'm showing the back of this quiltlet, a REALLY belated Christmas present, because it's a gift for a friend who reads my blog. Thus the reason for hiding it.

Yes, I also staged and hid the book, because images from it will also be used as I create the quiltlet. Note also the tiny rocking horse clothes pins.

On the left, you can see one of the rockers has walked away. I wondered where it was hiding. In the middle, I tried to show the size of the clothes pins and rockers. On the right you can tell I've corralled the errant rocker, and must glue it back in place. Now you see why I can claim I own over 460 rocking horses. They can be functional as well as decorative!

Thanks for visiting today. Your visit is always welcome, even though I can't leave comments to those on some G+ blogs, Instagram, Tumblr, and Facebook. For everyone else, I'll be by to visit and if you are coming from Julia's, please leave your number.

Rocking horse clothes pins! Now I have heard of almost everything! LOL They are cute though. I wanted to stop by and tell you that I did join the Inspired by challenge as you suggested. I hope I did it right. Thank you. #10

Well I never! Where on earth did you find those rockers? They are wonderful and I can imagine them being used to peg clothes on the line - a row of rockers! Sounds good to me.Good luck with the quiltlet - hope we get to see it at some time.Hugs Neet xx 9(under the chin tickles to Bleubeard and Squiggles) with an extra one for you know who

What sweet little pegs Elizabeth, it's as if they were created just for you! I'm intrigued to see your quiltlet?? Don't keep us waiting too long. Happy WOYWW enjoy your sewing and thank you as always for visiting.Creative wishes Tracey #4

Good Morning...Oh the guilt I feel when I see a sewing machine. Have so many ideas and just haven't had the spunk or fire to tackle that new one I have. "Computerized" mistake ! But I've had enough other things to keep me occupied. Some time email me your mailing address, when I find a small rocking horse or 2 in my rubble I'll mail it too you. I am weeding out ALL unused treasures !!! I've kinda boxed up my collections...so many and when I am done gathering I'll re locate a few of them within our home. Bugs, Heat, standing Water, closed windows, have created a weird summertime here. I think all of the states have had extreme things this year. Fires, Water, winds, political messes, but I keep praying ! Have a good week and Happy WOYWW

A quintet in progress, how lovely! As we’re at the half way point, you could call it an early Christmas gift really! I spot a postcard of London scenes, postcards are still amongst my favourite sort of mail! I like the rocking horse pegs, they are very little - nice to collect something that can be used as well as making a nice display, huh.

Those little pegs are so cute - I never knew there were so many rocking horses around! I'm looking forward to seeing the quiltlet when it's done. I love your studio space, it always looks so inviting and I've just noticed that gorgeous card with teapots on - I do love a teapot!Hope you have a great week,Diana x #17

NICE clothespins. Did you (or someone) make those or can you buy such fun ones? I am always amazed how clean you work area is. You should see mine and I even picked it up a bit. Hope you have a better day today. Hugs-Erika

Hi Elizabeth. I so love those rocking horse pegs (sorry we call them pegs in the UK). What a collection you must have. Hope your week is full of lovely crafty stuff and have a great woyww. Thanks for the visit to mine, Angela x13x

THat's a very belated X-mas present indeed... make it double gorgeous and it's appropriate for two X-masses at once *teehee*. You know I do love your rocking horses! Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday, have a great week! Love from sunny (and warm!) Holland. Marit #28

Thank you for your visit earlier - Felix is coming home today.... yeah! even more hugs!!!Just love those rocking horses, brilliant idea.BTW - I am 18 YEARS into stitching one of my pictures, hope this makes you feel better!! lolHave a good quilting weekChristine #44

Great rocking horse pins, I have never seen those before, I have quite a few myself with Christmas items, bees, flowers etc, must admit I haven’t used many!Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt, something I started but never finished, ha,ha

What dear little rocking horses, Elizabeth! I don't think I've ever come across anyone who collected rocking horses before or who had so many! They are so charming. Thank you for your lovely comment and I'm so glad you enjoyed my projects, and especially our kitties! They are endlessly entertaining!

Hi Elizabeth & Bleubeard, those clothes pins are a delight though I can't see you using them to hang anything out on a line with them, especially if the rocking horses have a tendency to go walkabout, or should that be rockabout! Look forward to seeing the finished quilt project. Elizabeth x #32
